VERTICAL VANE INSTALLATION
NOTE: For free hanging fabric, slide vane weights into the
bottom pocket of each vane.
PET PORT: If you ordered your vertical blind with the Pet
Port option, you have been provided with 2 different lengths
of vertical vanes. The shorter vanes are to be installed over
the pet door/obstruction and the longer vanes to cover the
length of the opening. You were supplied with 2 extra vanes
of each different size. This allows you to install the desired
number of vanes over the pet door to achieve the most
aesthetically pleasing look.

NOTE: It is preferred that grooved vanes and fabric inserts
are inserted with the rigid vinyl side against the longer prong
of the plastic clip. This will help to prevent the plastic clip
from snagging the fabric.
VINYL VANES: Upon installation, Vinyl vertical vanes may
have static electricity built up causing the vanes to "latch"
onto or stick to one another. Simply use a dryer sheet or a
damp cloth and mild detergent to wipe down the vanes and
remove the static.

• Using the draw cord, traverse
the carrier clips across the
headrail.
• Rotate the carrier clips to
the open position using the
metal tilt chain. (Your blind
must be tilted to the open
position BEFORE you clip in
the vanes).
• Push each vane into the
carrier clips until they snap
into place.
• For free hanging fabric, the
plastic clip must be inserted
into the top of the fabric
vane. Also, snap the plastic
clips of the vane chains into
the slot of the weight at the
bottom of the blind.
• To remove the vanes, gently
open the longer prong on the
vane hook with your thumb.
CORDLESS VANE INSTALLATION
On cordless rails ordered with rigid PVC there will be a notch
on the top of one of the slats. That slat must be placed on the
hook next to the control wand. When the slat is installed the
wand will be in front of the slat.
TENSIONER INSTALLATION
After installing the window covering, the Cord Tensioner must
be mounted for the window covering to operate correctly.
When properly installer, the Cord Tensioner functions
as a safety device that makes the pull cord less accessible
to children.
NOTE: If the mounting screws will not be secured into a wood
stud, use wall anchors. For metal surfaces, pre-drill the holes
and use sheet metal screws.
IMPORTANT! Install the Cord Tensioner
in a location that minimizes accessibility
to children and pets and where it will
not interfere with its operation. Only
supplied Cord Tensioners and
hardware should be used.
